So I have this document within the course collection
{
"_id" : ObjectId("53580ff62e868947708073a9"),
"startDate" : ISODate("2014-04-23T19:08:32.401Z"),
"scoreId" : ObjectId("531f28fd495c533e5eaeb00b"),
"rewardId" : null,
"type" : "certificationCourse",
"description" : "This is a description",
"name" : "testingAutoSteps1",
"authorId" : ObjectId("532a121e518cf5402d5dc276"),
"steps" : [
{
"name" : "This is a step",
"description" : "This is a description",
"action" : "submitCategory",
"value" : "532368bc2ab8b9182716f339",
"statusId" : ObjectId("5357e26be86f746b68482c8a"),
"_id" : ObjectId("53580ff62e868947708073ac"),
"required" : true,
"quantity" : 1,
"userId" : [
ObjectId("53554b56e3a1e1dc17db903f")
]
},...
And I want to do is create a query that returns all courses that have a specific userId
in the userId
array that is in the steps
array for a specific userId
. I've tried using $elemMatch
like so
Course.find({
"steps": {
"$elemMatch": {
"userId": {
"$elemMatch": "53554b56e3a1e1dc17db903f"
}
}
}
},
But It seems to be returning a empty document.
我认为这对你有用,你有一些语法加上你需要使用ObjectId():
db.Course.find({ steps : { $elemMatch: { userId:ObjectId("53554b56e3a1e1dc17db903f")} } })
The $elemMatch
usage is not necessary unless you actually have compound sub-documents in that nested array element. And also is not necessary unless the value being referenced could possibly duplicate in another compound document.
Since this is an ObjectId
we are talking about, then it's going to be unique, at least within this array. So just use the "dot-notation" form:
Course.find({
"steps.userId": ObjectId("53554b56e3a1e1dc17db903f")
},
Go back and look at the $elemMatch
documentation. In this case, the direct "dot-notation" form is all you need
